This question would probably be more apropriate to a discussion forum related to your webserver. However, in the spirit of Perlmonks I offer you a short perl/CGI script that will show you all the environmental variables that are available so you can see if you can find one that suits your needs. `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); print header, start_html(-title => 'ENV vars', -bgcolor => 'white'); foreach (sort keys %ENV){ print "<b>$_</b> -> \"$ENV{$_}\"\n<br>\n"; } print end_html;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Or the non-CGI.pm version of the above... `#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><body><pre>\n"; foreach (sort keys %ENV) { print "\$ENV{$_}\t$ENV{$_}\n"; } print "</pre></body></html>\n\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Or the non-HTML version of the above... `#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print map { "$_ : $ENV{$_}\n" } sort keys %ENV;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Or the exact names of some of the variables: HTTP_HOST i.e. "some.where.com" REQUEST_URI i.e. "/page/file.cgi" /Maqs.	[reply]
